What is the 4 main parts of the earth?

The four main parts of the Earth are the crust (outermost layer), mantle (middle layer), outer core (molten layer), and inner core (solid iron-nickel center). These layers vary in composition, temperature, and physical properties, and work together to create the Earth's structure.


What three parts of the earth included in the biosphere?

1. atmosphere (air)- the layer of gases that surrounds the earth. 2. lithosphere (earth)-a. the solid portion of the earth b. the crust and upper mantle of the earth 3. hydrosphere (water)- the water on or surrounding the surface of the globe, including the water of the oceans and the water in the atmosphere


Pictures of atmosphere hydrosphere lithosphere biosphere?

The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding the Earth. The hydrosphere includes all the water on Earth's surface, including oceans, lakes, and rivers. The lithosphere is the solid outer layer of Earth, including the crust and upper mantle. The biosphere is the zone of Earth where life forms exist, encompassing the interaction between living organisms and their environments.


Where are the atmosphere crust core hydrosphere lithosphere and mantle located?

The atmosphere is located above the Earth's surface; the crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth; the hydrosphere includes all the Earth's water in oceans, rivers, and lakes; the lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth including the crust and upper mantle; the mantle is the layer beneath the crust and above the core.


How do you distinguish between the biosphere lithosphere hydrosphere and atmosphere?

Biosphere - any part of the earth that contains life. Lithosphere - outer solid part of the earth including crust and upper mantle Hydrosphere - the part of the earth made up of water Atmosphere - the layer of gases surrounding the earth that are contained by gravity

Earths four major spheres?

Earth's four major spheres are the lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. The lithosphere contains all of the cold, hard solid land of the planet's crust The biosphere contains all the planet's living things. The atmosphere contains all of the air in the Earth system The hydrosphere contains all the solid, liquid, and gaseous water of the planet.

What are Earth's four major spheres are the?

The four sphere of the earth are the Atmosphere (gaseous envelope), the hydrosphere (water), the lithosphere (crust, mantle), the biosphere (living organisms).


Are the atmosphere biosphere hydrosphere and lithosphere interdependent systems?

Yes they are interdependent. Lithosphere is the layer of air. Hydrosphere, the layer of water. Atmosphere, is the layer of air. Biosphere is the layer of living organism. Life as we know it cannot survive without air water or minerals. These three layer together supports the biosphere. If you are familiar with Venn Diagram then should tell you that the intersection of the first three layers consists of Biosphere.


What are Earth's four physical system?

Atmosphere= it cotains the oxygen we breathe and protects the earth from radiation. Lithosphere= which includes the crust and uppermost mantle. Hydrosphere= is made up of the water elements on the earth. Biosphere= the part of the earth where plants and animals live.

Where are the atmosphere crust core hydrosphere lithosphere and mantle located?

The atmosphere is located above the Earth's surface; the crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth; the hydrosphere includes all the Earth's water in oceans, rivers, and lakes; the lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth including the crust and upper mantle; the mantle is the layer beneath the crust and above the core.

What are the 4 spheres of the earth?

Eastern, western, northern, and southern hemispheres.


What is the name of the thin layer of the Earth's Surface where life exists?

I'm pretty sure what you're describing is the crust.


What sphere is lithosphere?

The lithosphere is the outermost solid shell of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is part of the geosphere, which includes the lithosphere, hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), and biosphere (living organisms). The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
